Ska Brewing Roasts Its Own Malt, December 2006

Brad Stillmank, then brewer at Ska Brewing Company in Durango, Colorado, cashed in his grand prize as winner of the Have a Ball at Briess™ contest when he roasted a caramel malt in a traditional K-Ball Roaster at the Briess malthouse in Chilton, Wisconsin. Brad, who was assisted in the production by co-worker and Ska Head Brewer Jeff Ogden, named the once-in-a-lifetime production Ska's Natural Elation Malt, a USDA certified organic malt. Briess held the contest to celebrate its 130th anniversary.
